"Heh, no worries, only fifteen years older, I don't mind," Shadow said shamelessly with a laugh.
"Get lost!" Lin Shuang's face instantly turned cold, and she shouted.
Shadow, however, paid no mind to her attitude and said, "Peng Ze and Ding Jin, among others, all have their strengths. Do you know why your parents agreed to let me come for a blind date with you? It's because of my strengths?"
"I don't care what your strengths are, they're all useless in my eyes! You can get lost now!" Lin Shuang said with a frigid expression.
"My strength is that I am a martial artist, and a powerful one at that."
Shadow walked towards Lin Shuang with a chuckle.
"What do you want to do?" Lin Shuang frowned and asked.
Lin Li quickly stepped in front of Lin Shuang, his face serious. "Friend, before coming for this blind date, you didn't tell us you were thirty-five. My daughter is only twenty this year, so she naturally cannot marry a leftover man like you, even if you are a martial artist. Please leave immediately."
"Fine, since you don't play by the rules, then I don't need to either!"
With that, his body turned into an afterimage and he lunged towards Lin Shuang.
"Dad, be careful!"
Lin Shuang shoved Lin Li aside and faced Shadow with a solemn expression.
Shadow's speed was truly astounding. Even Lin Shuang, after her significant increase in strength, found it somewhat difficult to cope.
However, her strength was not to be trifled with. As he reached out to grab her neck, Lin Shuang accurately captured his movement trajectory.
Simultaneously, she reached out and firmly grasped his wrist.
"With just this much strength, you dare to be so arrogant in front of me?" Lin Shuang scoffed.
At the same time, she struck his chest with a palm.
When Lin Shuang grasped his wrist, she had felt that although his speed was fast, his strength was not significant, and she immediately let down her guard.
Such a person, if she had encountered them before going to Wutai Mountain, might have struggled to deal with. But now, she didn't even bother to put him in her eyes.
The opponent seemed not to have reacted, completely taking Lin Shuang's palm strike.
Lin Li was greatly astonished and looked at Lin Shuang with surprise.
He, Lin Li, was also a martial artist and knew how high Lin Shuang's strength was.
But the strength Lin Shuang was displaying now made even her father feel a tremor of fear.
Yet, in the next second, something completely unexpected happened.
The Shadow, who had been struck by Lin Shuang's palm, actually dissolved into a cloud of black dust and then dissipated into the air.
Immediately after, Shadow's body reappeared behind Lin Shuang.
"Lin Shuang, be careful behind you!" Chen Jie warned with a frown.
"Ah!"
Lin Shuang let out a cry of surprise. She had not expected this turn of events.
At the same time, she realized that she might have underestimated Shadow.
"You fell for it!" Shadow smiled wickedly and reached out lewdly towards Lin Shuang's backside.
"You're asking for death!"
Lin Shuang reacted with incredible speed, turning around and unleashing another palm strike.
But Shadow's body simply dissolved.
"Chen Jie, be careful!"
Lin Shuang looked at Chen Jie and subconsciously exclaimed.
It turned out that Shadow had appeared behind Chen Jie.
This time, Shadow held a black scythe in his hand.
He directly slashed towards Chen Jie's neck.
"You've all fallen for it! Hahaha..." Shadow's face was filled with manic delight as he swung the scythe fiercely towards Chen Jie.
This time, the power of his attack was several times stronger than the pressure he had exerted on Lin Shuang.
It was evident that he had not used his full strength just now.
However, just as his scythe was about to slice Chen Jie's neck, Chen Jie seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He directly raised his arm, reaching behind his neck, and with two fingers, precisely clamped onto the blade of the scythe.
"What?"
Shadow's expression froze.
He seemed completely unprepared for Chen Jie's incredibly fast reaction.
He couldn't even believe that Chen Jie could block his blade without even looking at him.
And that the strength of just two fingers could stop his scythe's deadly sweep.
His pupils contracted.
Even Lin Li stared with wide, disbelieving eyes.
"A mere trick!"
Chen Jie exerted a gentle force with his hand, then flicked his wrist, sending Shadow flying backward and crashing into the wall. As he landed, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"You..."
Shadow pointed at Chen Jie in disbelief, his face contorted with shock.
Chen Jie, however, felt it was commonplace.
He now possessed divine sense, which was even better than his eyes. Within a three-meter radius, he could even track the trajectory of a bullet.
Chen Jie frowned and asked, "Who are you? What is your identity?"
Shadow calmed his qi and blood, then stood up and smiled sinisterly. "I have set my sights on Miss Lin. Today, I will take Miss Lin away and toy with her!"
With that, his entire body vanished, appearing directly behind Lin Shuang.
This time, Lin Shuang was already prepared and turned around in advance, dispersing his body.
"Dad, Mom, who exactly are they? Where did you find this person?" Lin Shuang, increasingly bewildered by the opponent's uncanny methods, asked her parents.
"We, we don't know either! We posted an ad online for your blind date, and we just filtered through. We only knew he was a martial artist!"
Lin Li was dumbfounded.
"Who am I? Miss Lin, be my woman, and I will naturally tell you who I am!"
Shadow chuckled and approached Lin Shuang again.
"Chen Jie! Make your move! Capture him!" Lin Shuang turned around anxiously.
This person always appeared behind her, and sometimes even tried to act lewdly, which was incredibly annoying. It was only because she reacted so quickly that he hadn't succeeded.
Otherwise, she would definitely have been taken advantage of, and that would have disgusted her to death.
Unless the person taking advantage of her was Chen Jie.
"Come to my side!" Chen Jie frowned.
Even with his divine sense, he couldn't capture the opponent's movement trajectory.
It was as if after failing an attack, the opponent would disappear into thin air at the original spot and then reappear in another location.
All he could do was, at the instant the opponent appeared, capture their presence and react accordingly.
Lin Shuang heard him and quickly ran to Chen Jie's side.
"By my side? In front of me, Shadow, it doesn't matter where you hide, it's useless!" Shadow grinned maliciously.
He reappeared beside Lin Shuang once more.
"Seeking death!"
This time, Chen Jie reacted in advance, sensing his presence, and unleashed a palm strike.
With a bang, he directly scattered the opponent.
Unlike last time, he didn't send him flying.
Seeing this, Lin Shuang finally felt relieved, at least knowing she wouldn't be taken advantage of by an outsider.
Lin Shuang said sternly, "While we may not be able to defeat you now, you can't defeat us either. I advise you to leave now, or you won't be able to bear the consequences!"
"I can't defeat you? What a joke!"
Shadow appeared, his face full of disdain. The next second, he lunged towards Lin Li.
"Dad, be careful!" Lin Shuang cried out in alarm, her face filled with worry.
But it was too late. Shadow had already appeared behind Lin Li.
Although Lin Li was a martial artist, his strength was far inferior to Lin Shuang's, and his reaction time was also far less than hers.
Therefore, he didn't have time to react.
Roar!
